CH. 25 It's a serious time

(Rosemary POV)

I was in my office, sitting behind my computer screen and making sure that everything would go smoothly with my sister getting here. Her coming to help us would help us even more with what we need help with.

A knock came from my door and I already knew who it was.

"You know you can come in," I said, staring at my door for her to come in but instead the door being open Mona just decided to go through it. Some people might think she was just trying to be cool but I knew it was because she felt no need to open the door with her strength when she could just walk through it. Now that I think about it, Mona has been using lots of her strengths lately. I'm starting to be concerned and hoping she's not overwhelming herself.

I glanced back at Mona to find her staring at me, smiling, making her eyebrows dance which caused me to raise a brow, already knowing what she was going to talk to me about.

"You and Jamison are now a couple?" She said smiling wider.

"Yes," I answered. As bluntly as I could, what point was there to hide it? It wasn't anything I was ashamed of and I just told everyone we were after all.

My stomach started to feel fluttering, making me wonder if it was something I ate earlier.

Mona let out a laugh.

"I'm excited, this is the first time I've ever seen you this way and I know how you're nervous because I know you, so you not showing any facial emotions is not going to work on me. I can tell you're extremely nervous." She said smiling at me softly.

I let out a sigh.

"This is just all new to me that's all," I said as She nodded her head.

"New experiences can be good sometimes and this one is going to be good, but it's also okay to be nervous like you said before this is all new to you and Jamison knows that. I'm sure he will go with your flow." She told me.

"What if he just thinks he likes me but he really doesn't." I found myself saying, Mona's eyes widen and she shook her head quickly.

"He's been drooling over you since the minute you brought him into this house. Everyone sees that he likes you and everyone knows that he likes you. He's not only shown it by his words but by his actions and definitely by the way he looks at you." She said causing me to raise a brow.

"Don't tell me you don't notice the way he looks at you." She said looking at me with a shock expression.

"I mean, I think. I don't know." I said, not being able to find my words.

"Well, how do you feel about him?" She asked me, I didn't hesitate to answer her question.

"I have feelings for him," I said, watching her smile widen even more.

"Remember what I told you last night, let yourself start to feel. Yes, this is a first for you but you'll be okay and it's fine to feel something for someone. It's actually nice seeing you feel something for someone." She said, causing me to raise a brow.

"When you say start to feel? What do you mean, because I have felt many things towards you so it's not like the first time I'm feeling anything for someone you know." I said to her and she rolled her eyes at me. It was true, I've felt many things for Mona, I wasn't exactly a robot as most people probably thought I was.

"I am different, I've raised you and I am a mother to you. What you feel for me is completely different from what you feel and will feel for Jamison. You know that, so don't act dumb with me missy." She said with her usual sass. I let out a sigh.

"I did listen to your advice and I have realized that I do feel things for Jamison, I am feeling things that I've never felt before and you know how I am," I said to her, she nodded her head slowly and gave me a soft smile.

"You don't back down from anything, yes I do know. I am looking forward to seeing how you and Jamison blossom, something tells me that you two were meant to encounter with one another." She said with glee found in her tone, I playfully rolled my eyes at her.

"He had no choice, I paid for his bail and then gave him no other option but to work for me, by offering him a large sum of money," I said, Mona shook her head.

"I'm glad you didn't tell me about your little plan beforehand, you know I wasn't going to be okay with that and the fact that you didn't feel the need to tell him that he could see dead people at first was actually a very smart idea, you let him come to realize it himself. You seem to be dealing with all of this well also." She said causing me to shrug my shoulders.

"It's because I've been watching him for four years," I said casually, Mona eyes widened and looked taken aback as she let my words settled in.

"What do you mean you've been watching him for four years? How was I unaware of this?" She asked me stunned that she had no idea about this. Mona was someone that nothing could go cross her, well I guess she didn't see this one coming.

"I supposed it's because I didn't really make it obvious and yes, I've been watching him for four years. I wanted to make sure he was exactly what I thought he was the first time I saw him." I said, working on my computer as if I just didn't let something that no one knew about out the box.

"You've been observing Jamison for four years? and just only approached him recently? Rosemary.... tell me you weren't the one that got him arrested in the first place?" Mona asked me.

I looked at her and she stared hard me, probably wondering if I was the reason why Jamison was arrested and wondering if it fit my character to do that.

"No, I wasn't the reason. He was honestly set up by some people he hung out with, I knew trouble was going to come soon from observing him so I just waited till it happened." I said going back to working on my computer.

"So, you basically waited till he got in trouble so you could help him? You waited till he needed someone, you waited till he was in a hard situation and made sure you were that person that came. You waited to be that person he needed." Mona said and I shook my head.

"We need each other, him and I but I supposed you're right in a certain light," I said, giving her my full attention.

"Rosemary, you were observing him for four years and he didn't know about it, neither did I. Are you planning on telling him that you were observing him for four years because you two just started a relationship and it would be best not to start a relationship with things not being told that could get the other person upset. Listen to me as I say this Rosie." Mona said, my eyes widen slightly at the realization that I didn't want to see Jamison hurt about finding anything out that would upset him.

Especially something that has to do with me, I don't want him to get upset or sad from something I've done.

"Okay, I'll tell him," I said Mona's eyes widened even more.

"Really? Well, that was easy. I'm glad you're going to tell him. It is important to not start a relationship on lies or dishonesty." She said and I nodded my head listening to her.

I was honestly taking in her words and listening to her, she was right. I was someone who never doubted Mona being right about things, she was a woman who knew about many things and has gone through many things. Even till this day, I don't know half of the things Mona has gone through.

I sometimes wonder if I'll ever know half of the things she's gone through. What was Mona's story? Who was she before?

She tilted her head to the side, smiling at me. It was if she could hear my inner thoughts and found it amusing, I was going to ask her something but she quickly cut me off, which took me off guard because it was out of character for her.

"You're okay, right?" She asked me with concern found in her eyes.

I nodded my head. "Yes, I'm fine. Just thinking about things that's all. I can't wait till she gets here, this creeps not being found is bothering me." I said changing the topic of the conversation back to my sister. Mona nodded her head.

"Well, I'm sure you've already got to it, making sure she gets here. I'm sure with having your sister around, we would be able to figure things out in no time. Also, be able to stop him." Mona said, hopefulness being found in her tone of voice and I nodded my head to that, agreeing with her.

"Hey, you know that thing you do. Where you hold on to another ghost and are able to go where they go, also being able to see what they see?" I asked Mona, she raised a brow at me.

"You mean the possession awareness, it's when I attach myself to another being to see where they're going and what is being done to them." She said widening her eyes.

"You want me to do that when the ghost you saw the other day decides to show up again?" She asked me, I nodded my head.

"Yes, you're also able to come back correct? As in you'll know your way back?" I asked her and she smiled softly.

"Yes, don't worry. I'll be able to come back but yes, I have no idea why we didn't think about that before. That is a wonderful idea. I'll do it." She said.

"You also need to be careful when you do it," I said, she raised her brow at me again and let out a chuckle.

"Wow, look at you behaving motherly. I'll be careful. I promise it's something that needs to be done also." She said. I stood up from my chair and made my way towards her.

"You want a hug?" She asked me and I nodded my head.

"Okay, you can touch me now." She said. I gave her a hug, actually feeling her warmth as she wrapped her arms around me.

"I love you, you know that right?" She said to me. I nodded my head, never doubting her love for me.

"Of course Mom," I said, causing her to let out a chuckle.

"I can remember the day so clearly when you started calling me mom. Gosh, I treasure that day." She said rubbing my back.

"That's because you're my mother," I said, meaning it.

"It's an honor, to be your mother to you and your sister, it took me off guard when she started to call me that too when we met and she decided to stay with us. I wish I knew about her the moment I knew about you." Mona said with emotions being heard in her voice. I agreed to what she said but I didn't voice it, my sister has also gone through horrible things, things that made my skin crawled just thinking of it. I didn't want Mona to let those horrible things get into her head so I decided to change the topic.

"He made me laugh earlier," I said, she pulled back and look at me with wide eyes.

"He made you laugh?" She asked me and I nodded my head, she let out a giggle.

"A man that can make my baby girl laugh is a man worth having feelings for, you got this." She said.

"He definitely has my approval."  She said causing me to chuckle.
